I still have this problem with mercurial tree from today. Is there any trick? I simply do a make / make install in v4l-dvb tree I checked the Makefiles. The only place I found the use of strip was in v4l/Makefile: ################################################# # Old instalation rule old-install:: rminstall @echo -e "\nInstalling new V4L modules at $(DEST)..." @strip --strip-debug $(inst-m) -install -d $(DEST) -install -m 644 -c $(inst-m) $(DEST) /sbin/depmod -a ${KERNELRELEASE} ################################################# But why is it called "old"? How does the script v4l/scripts/make_makefile.pl work? > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andrew de Quincey > Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 1:23 AM > To: linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Large DVB modules > > > On Thursday 27 April 2006 21:13, Helmut Auer wrote: > > Hello, > > What is the reason for the very large kenel modules ? > > Some weeks ago my /lib/modules/2.6.1x/kernel/drivers/media was > about 25 MB > > smaller ... > > It is stray debug information.
